The thing to note is that all the lads were boiling with white hot fury at old Jezza, but they will all at very least sit on their hands for Farage. Because the latter might be a fascist but he’s officer class, and he’ll listen to a lot important people who matter rather than disregarding them.

Yesterday the traveller community dropped off an entire transit of food and toys at our local foodbank. So many families will have a proper Christmas because of their kindness.

It's no accident that there's a big overlap between the "life being stressful is not a mental illness" people and the "biological sex" people. Neither group is a fan of empathy or nuance, so they pretend that "science" can tell us what words mean. But that's not how it works

1/🧵 My friends in Hong Kong are furious about reports suggesting that bamboo scaffolding contributed to the massive fire there. One of them, a well-connected lobbyist, has even been messaging journalists to request corrections and has publicly called the coverage orientalist.

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

The law has failed a woman and her child – fight back
No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system.

How have we found ourselves here as a country? A supposedly centre-left government unable to rule out child detention.
Will Labour MPs now ask – how have they found themselves here as a party? And, more importantly, what do they plan to do about it?

Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.
Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.

A policy that will raise virtually no money (what, is the Home Office going to have an eBay & Pawn Shops Officer now?) and has historical resonances that, at best, leave most people feeling a little uncomfortable…

This makes me feel physically sick. No MP should support any of these measures until they have spent a month each working in asylum detention and with unhoused people.
How dare she call this 'moral'? It's disgraceful.
